So...

Jill and Sarah turned me onto the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, thanks to them I finished all 4 books this week. I just finished the 4th book about an hour ago and now here I am 2000+ pages later twiddling my thumbs until 11.21.08 which is when the movie will be released. Gotta admit it looks pretty darn promising, I dont even know if we have a movie theater here in Ponca City but I am thinking that we may have to make special arrangements and drag ourselves on a girls day out to OKC/Tulsa...



Shawn left Monday and is out on his 1st rig somewhere by Coalgate and from what I can tell by his daily texts, is enjoying himself regardless of missing those waiting for him at home. Last I heard he was somehow eating like a king (fajitas, peach cobbler and sweet tea). At that rate I wonder if he will find his way back- haha!


How about that 2 hr Greys Anatomy season premiere?!?!? Sarah kindly offered up her house for a season premiere party that did not disappoint! I am sad that Shawn was working and did not get a chance to watch- I hate to remind him that we have an ongoing bet, especially when I can no longer remember what the heck it was about or what was at stake!


I am extremely grateful to Jill and Sarah for their friendships that have made me feel welcome and at home here in Oklahoma and look forward to our walks and cherish the laughter we share.
I dont think that there is another trio that can laugh harder when a treasure such as one in the following picture is found...

Neat

So I have heard Jill talk about her blog, and I had checked it out a couple of time but never really took in all the things that she was using it for. Since Shawn and I just moved to Oklahoma I thought it would be neat to utilize a blog as a journal of our new adventures and life here.

Shawn just had his 1st day with his new job at Crescent Directional Drilling and he is loving it! He left early this morning to drive into OKC, he met 2 other MWD new hires and they spent the morning learning about some of the tools they will be using and how to take them apart and put them back together. Then after lunch he and one of the other newbies volunteered themselves for an excursion to Texas to drop off some needed parts/tools. Pretty awesome for a 1st day on the job experience!

I was "instructed" to get a job, so I have scattered my resume across town and have so far interviewed for two jobs- one at the UPS store and the other at company in the next town over that does the billing for emergency services ie. fire stations and ambulance services. The pay and cost of living is a fraction of what it is in Phoenix, but it is really hard for me to adjust going from one pay scale back down to one that I made right out of high school.

Lily and Choco are as cute as ever and loving it here. After Shawn & I have always said that we would never dress up our animals, we broke down and bought them Halloween costumes. I was cracking up when I took their picture!!

We are expecting their 2nd and LAST litter of puppies right around Halloween! We are so looking forward to experiencing our first REAL fall!! We missed the Kay County Fair because of all the rain we received from hurricane Ike, but there is always next year.

Well I think blogged quite enough for my 1st entry, hopefully I will be some what decent on keeping up with it!!
